FIGHTING VEHICLE OF SALVO-FIRE JET-DRIVEN SYSTEM ON CHASSIS OF BASE TANK Russian patent published in 2003 - IPC

FIELD: salvo-fire self-propelled jet driven system mounts. SUBSTANCE: the launching tubes of the transport launching matrix are made for use of projectiles of the preset caliber with a warhead of a variable mass. The center of mass of the transport launching matrix is brought out forward beyond the center of mass of the tank chassis and positioned on condition of provision of smooth motion of the fighting vehicle after loading of the transport launching matrix with projectiles of the maximum mass from the used ones. The ballistic computer is made for taking into account the whole spectrum of ballistics corresponding to the used projectiles. A laser range finder with a transmitter of the sum of the angles of trim of the turntable and target elevation located in the axis of the pilot mirror of the range finder is used as a united optical sighting device. The turntable is provided with a transmitter of its position relative to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle body connected to the ballistic computer via the automatic data transmission channel. The zero sighting line of the range finder in the fire control system is adjusted with the channel by one of the launching tubes of the transport launching matrix used as the base one. EFFECT: enhanced operating characteristics of the fighting vehicle and its reliability in service. 6 cl, 10 dwg
